2. TWJ Sat Jan 31 1857: Clocks - The Yankee clock business has been overdone.

The total production of clocks this year is estimated at only about 143,000. Four years ago there were thirty-one factories. The Jerome Manufacturing Company, which has gone to ruin, carrying Burnum along with it, used then to make 444,000 clocks a year, and for a series of years the factory of J.C. Brown made annually from 80,000 to 100,000. Last year the Ansonia Company made about 150,000 which is equal to the estimated production of the whole country this year.

The Public are cautioned against purchasing Largely of the new Lamp-tubes, introduced in this Village, this week, by a Traveller. The tubes are represented to give an Excellent Light and save some fluid or Gas.

11. TWJ Sat Jan 31, 1857: See the advertisement of H.H. King, on the next page. Mr. King gives his advertisement in prices' current shape, and readers will find, on examination, that his scale is much below the usual charge for the same articles. This is worthy the attention of economists, and we are assured that the articles in which he deals are of the first quality.

12. TWJ Sat Jan 31, 1857: Spanish Coin. Congress has recently passed an Act intending to drive this species of currency out of circulation. All postmasters and receivers of public money are instructed that they are not obliged to receive this coin at all, but if they do so, they must take it only at the rate of 20 cents for quarters, 10 cents for eights and 5 cents for sixteenths; and after receiving they must not pass it again, but must return it for re-coinage. The consequence will be that few will part with their coin at these rates, but it will be sold for its full value, either to be recoined or to be manufactured into various articles of use. In either case, it will very rapidly disappear from circulation.

13. TWJ Sat Jan 31, 1857: The London correspondent of the Tribune states that Mr. Barnum, so far, has met with poor success, in his exhibitions in England; that the statements made in his book, have rendered him unpopular in that country, and that he appears much dispirited.

46. TWJ Fri May 7, 1858: The New York papers one day last week mentioned the fact that the dead body of a man was found ashore on Governor's Island, in the harbor of New York, and that a letter was found on the body addressed to John S. Avery, New Britain. The father of John S. Avery, of Chaplin, whose son had been missing for some time, started for New York to see if the body was that of his son. He saw the corpse and identified it, and on Monday morning a box arrived at our depot containing the remains which were conveyed to Chaplin, where they were buried the same afternoon. The circumstances by which he came to his death have not as yet been developed, but we understand Mr. Avery has returned to the city, to ascertain, if possible, the manner of the death of his son. If a murder has been done it is to be hoped the perpetrators will be brought to justice.

47. TWJ Fri May 7, 1858: Mr. James N. Buell, employed by the N.L.W. & P.R.R. Co., at the Willimantic station met with a serious accident on Tuesday evening. He was in the act of uncoupling the cars, when one of them started, and he, stumbling at the time, had his right hand caught between them, crushing it terribly, and perhaps crippling him for life. Some of the fingers of the hand were almost entirely severed, hanging by the skin only.

49.

Here he intends shall rise a beautiful structure for tenements, 54 feet by 38, three stories high. Success to him and every man bound for improvement.

50. TWJ Fri May 7, 1858: Two boys named Peter and James Corrie, were arrested last week, for stealing a quantity of brass machinery from the Paper Mill in this village. They had sold the articles to a pedlar. The boys were found guilty and sent to Brooklyn Jail.

51. TWJ Fri May 7, 1858: The Willimantic Light Guard, Captain Davison, left home on Wednesday morning, for New Haven, to participate in the ceremonies which came off on that day. They report it as a pleasant excursion, and would tender their thanks to Mr. Cooley, of the Union House, New Haven, for the sumptuous entertainment provided by him for the Guards. The company arrived at home at about eleven o'clock the same evening.

52. TWJ Fri May 7, 1858: "Fifty Years in Chains, or the Life of an American Slave, written by himself," is the title of a work published by H. Dayton, 29 Ann Street, New York. The history opens in the southern part of Maryland, where our hero spent the earlier years of his life. Being bought by a southern negro driver, he was taken to South Carolina, where, after a detailed and interesting account of his journey, we find him a plantation slave. Changes in his master's family at length caused his removal to an unsettled estate in Georgia. On account of the death of a kind master here, and the cruelty of his mistress, he made his escape. By means of extraordinary ingenuity and fortitude, he succeeded in reaching his native place, and lived in freedom eight years, when he was kidnapped and taken back to slavery. He fled again, and is now living unmolested near Philadelphia, though not, he says, without fear of recapture. The work can be obtained of Mr. Wm. S. Avery, who is the authorized agent for this county. 430 pages, price $1.00.

53. TWJ Fri May 7, 1858: We call attention to the stock of Perfumery and Toilet articles kept for sale by our new Hairdresser and Barber, Mr. D.K. Tucker, in the basement of Brainard's Hotel. His stock consists of a general assortment of Combs, Brushes, Oils, Pomades, Lubin's Extracts, and other choice perfumes, hand mirrors, velvet sponges, hair dyes, and almost every article so necessary to the toilet of a lady or gentleman.

To smokers we would say, if you want a genuine Havan Segar, Tucker's is the place to get it. Call and see him, and our word for it you will not leave dissatisfied.

54. TWJ Fri May 7 1858: On the first page of this paper, among the Norwich Business Cards, will be found the advertisement of Messrs. T. Kohn & Co., who have on hand a large assortment of Staple and Fancy Dry Goods, which they offer at prices to suit the times. The junior partners of this concern are Messrs. M.L. Teitlebaum and Leopold Ehrlich, who are well known to the people of Willimantic and vicinity; they desire their former friends and customers in this neighborhood, when visiting Norwich to give them a call, with the assurance that they will find the goods kept at their store of as good quality and fair prices as can be found in any other establishment.

57. TWJ Fri May 7, 1858: St. Louis, May 4. - The Leavenworth Ledger says that a dispatch from Utah reached the Fort on Monday last asking for a re-inforcement, and giving an account of a skirmish between a guerilla party of Mormons and a body of troops under Capt. Anderson, in which three-fourths of the combatants were killed on both sides. A company of heavy artillery and a company of dragoons were immediately dispatched from the fort. The Leavenworth Herald says that news reached the fort by express, that a band of outlaws and a small detachment of troops under Capt. Anderson, had an engagement in the Little Osage Country; that one soldier was killed, and Capt. Anderson wounded in the leg, and had his horse killed under him. A battery of four guns and a company of dragoons were dispatched to the scene of the difficulty. The statement from the Leavenworth Ledger, already telegraphed grew out of the above, probably substituting camp Scott for Fort Scott.

58. TWJ Fri May 7, 1858: New Haven, May 4th, 1858. The trial of Adrian Phelps, accused of robbing the mail between New London and Stonington, continued during the afternoon of yesterday. The principle witnesses on the part of the United States, were Mr. Lyman, postmaster at New London. Mr. Lyman testified to preparing the mail that Phelps was to carry on the 27th of March, taking a complete list of its contents, both of the bundles of letters and also of each single letter. He testified also to his delivering the mail to Phelps on the morning in question. Mr. Holbrook testified to being at Stonington when the mail was received, and having found that a number of bundles of letters were missing, he immediately searched the person and conveyance of Phelps and found the missing bundles under the cushion of his wagon. A number of other witnesses were examined, consisting principally of the Postmasters of the Post Offices between New London and Stonington. They all testified to the fact of receiving the mail from New London on the morning of the 27th and returning the same to the carrier, retaining only the matter that belonged to their respective offices. The testimony was completed about five o'clock, and in about an hour after, the arguments of the counsel and charge of the Judge being finished, the jury retired and returned in a short time with a verdict of guilty. - Shipman appeared for the United States and Watrous and Upham for the prisoner. Tuckerman and Phelps were sentenced this morning, Tuckerman was sentenced as follows: for the offense on the 15th of November, ten years; for the offense of the 20th, 4 years; 22d, 4 years; 29th, 3 years, making in all twenty-one years that he is to enjoy the hospitality of the Wethersfield Prison. Phelps was sentenced to the State Prison for three years, Dunbar who turned states evidence in the case of United States vs. Thompson, Cowd and Dunbar, for counterfeiting, was sentenced to thirty days imprisonment in the New Haven Jail. The business being completed, the court adjourned sine die this morning at 10 o'clock. Hartford Poit 5th.

59. TWJ Fri May 7, 1858: Ordination. The ordination services attending the admission of the Rev. Wm. A. Hitchcock to the order of priesthood in the Protestant Episcopal Church, were performed by the Rt. Rev. Bishop Williams of this Diocese, and assisted by the Rev. Dr. Hallam of New London, and others, in St. Sohn's [mean John's?] Church in this city, on Thursday last. The following clergymen were present on the occasion, besides the Bishop and candidate: Revs. Dr. Hallam of New London, and Clark of Waterbury; Rev. Messrs. Wiley of Waterbury, Stone of Watertown, Williams of Litchfield, Shannon of Seymour, Brewster of New Haven, Russell of New Britain, Hutchins of East Haddam, Townsend of Middletown, and Vibbert of Fair Haven. The Rev. Mr. Hitchcock has received a call from St. John's Church, Portsmouth, N.H., which, we understand, he has accepted. The parish, which is said to be a large and important one, has, we think, made a most fortunate selection, in the choice of Mr. Hitchcock. Few young men have entered the ministry under more flattering auspices, or with a larger promise of future usefulness. Mr. H. leaves immediately for his field of labor. - Waterbury Journal.

60. TWJ Fri May 7, 1858: Mary Morrison, a young Irish girl, escaped from the jail at Hartford where she had been confined for stealing, and started down the street hotly pursued by a bare-headed and bare-footed domestic from the penal establishment. The race was exciting, but short. Mary distanced her pursuer and dodged up an alley. Officer Chamberlin, however, was soon on her track, and discovered her in an upper story room in a box covered with old rags.

61. TWJ Fri May 7, 1858: New Haven, April 28. This morning when an employee of Mr. W.D. Bryan, Merchant Tailor, Church street, in Exchange Building, entered the store, he found that one of the lower panels of the back door, had been broken in during the night, and that burglars had entered and rifled the store. Everything was in confusion; drawers were open and the goods were scattered about upon the counters. On examination it appeared that a large quantity of goods had been stolen including at least $250 worth of vestings and a few articles of ready made clothing. The amount of the loss is not accurately known, but it is feared it will not be far from five or six hundred dollars.

62. TWJ Fri May 7, 1858: Mr. & Mrs. Elijah Newton, of Ledyard, celebrated the 70th anniversary of their wedding day on the 27th of March last.

63. TWJ Fri May 7, 1858: Great Excitement at the Temple of Fashion. Hanover has just returned again from New York, with another lot of New Goods, this being the third lot received this Spring - and where are our competitors? Why, the competition is like the recent election - all one way. Well, I am the last man to find fault, as long as the Temple is crowded from top to bottom, from the rising of the sun to the going down of the same - yes, longer. And as long as this stat of things exists, my communications shall be yes, yes, and nay, nay. I will just say that the Temple of Fashion is the only place in this town where can be found the Latest Fashions; and the reason is, no one else is in the market as often as the Proprietor of the Temple: he being there every week, is sure to get the latest styles in Millinery Goods, also, every things new in the line of Dress and Fancy Goods. Well then, taking all things into consideration, the best advice I can give, is for every one wishing to purchase any thing pretty and good, to call at the Temple of Fashion, before presuming to purchase it at any other place.

98. TWJ Fri May 27, 1859: Gen. Putnam. - Among the worthies who figured during the era of the American Revolution, perhaps there were none possessing more originality of character, than Gen. Putnam, who was eccentric, and fearless, blunt in his manner, the daring soldier without the polish of the gentleman. He might well be called the Marion of the north, though he disliked disguise, probably from the fact that his lisping, which was apt to overthrow any trickery which he had in view. The following anecdote was related to us by an elderly gentleman, who received it from the mouth of his father who served under the general. At the time a strong hold, called Horseneck, some miles above New York, was in the possession of the British, Putnam, with a few sturdy patriots, was lurking in the vicinity, bent on driving them from the place. Tired of lying in ambush, the men importuned the general with questions as to when they were going to have a bout with the foe. On morning he made a speech something to the following effect, which convinced them that something was in the wind. "Fellers - You've been idle too long, and so have I. I'm going down to Bush's at Horseneck, in an hour, with an ox team and a load of corn. If I come back, I will let you know all the particulars, if I should not, let them have it by hokey!" He shortly afterwards mounted his ox-cart dressed as one of the commonest order of yankee farmers, and was soon at Bush's tavern, which was in possession of the British troops. The officers no sooner saw him than they began to question him as to his wherebouts, and finding him a complete simpleton, (as they thought), they began to quiz him, and threatened to seize him, corn and fodder. "How much do you ask for your whole consarn?" asked they. "For Mercy sake, gentlemen, replied the mock clod-hopper, with the most deplorable look of entreaty "only let me off, and you shall have my hull team and load for nothing and if that wont dew, I'll give you my word I'll return to-morrow, and pay you heartily for your kindness and condescension." "Well," said they "we'll take you at your word; leave the team and provender with us, and we won't require any bail for your appearance." Putnam gave up the team; and sauntered for an hour or so, and gained all the information he wished, he then returned to his men and told them of the disposition of the foe, and his plan of attack. The morning came and with it sallied our gallant band. The British were handled with rough hands, and when they surrendered to Gen. Putnam, the clod-hopper, he sarcastically remarked - Gentlemen, I have only kept my word, I told you I should call and pay you for all your kindness and condescension.

100. TWJ Fri May 27, 1859: Capt. C.H. Davison, of the 7th Regiment Connecticut Militia, has issued Order No. 10, to the non-commissioned offers, to give notice to all members to appear at their Armory, Franklin Hall, on Saturday, the 4th of June, at 8 o'clock A.M., in uniform, fully armed and equipped as the law directs, for the purpose of drill, discipline and inspection. We have a vivid recollection of [unreadable] some forty years ago, and last on Boston Common, and suppose this [unreadable] something of the same sort. We hope the occasion might be as joyful to all concerned as were the trainings of the olden times.

101. TWJ Fri May 27, 1859: On Friday last, Mr. Allen Osborne, of Middletown, while using a pen-knife, accidentally stuck it into the center of his hand. He suffered considerable pain from the injury, in fact, so much that he could not attend to business. On Sunday, while walking in his garden, he was seized with a paroxysm, and fell to the ground; he was carried into the house and failed rapidly, until about 7 o'clock Monday morning when death released him.

102. TWJ Fri May 27, 1859: Another Destructive Implements of Warfare. The Journal of Commerce gives an account of the trial of a couple of monster rifles, manufactured by the Ames Manufacturing Company at Chicopee, one of which is intended for the U.S. Government; the other will be taken out in the Russian frigate "General Admiral," for presentation to the Czar of all the Russins. In several respects, the gun here referred to, conforms to the description recently given in English papers of the celebrated "Armstrong" gun. It has a rifled bore, of a diameter capable of receiving a four pound ball; but the missile he employs is so elongated that the weight of metal is increased to thirteen pounds. The rear section or base, is composed of lead, presenting a concave surface to the cartridge, with the view of its being forced into the grooves by the expansion of the powder, behind it, thus preventing loss of explosive power by windage. A prominent object in the experiment made, was, to ascertain the effect of increasing the number of grooves. The remarkable accuracy obtained is shown by the fact that three balls were thrown through the [unreadable] at the distance of half a mile. The target was placed at the slope of a hill while these experiments were in progress, with the supposition that the resistance offered by the target would prevent the ball going much beyond; but a messenger brought word that damage was being done two miles further off. Balls were then fired so that they struck into the earth a comparatively short distance from the target, and on being dug out were found shattered by the concussion.

103. TWJ Fri May 27, 1859: [unreadable] has lived in Utah, and was present at the Mountain Meadow massacre of the Arkansas emigrants. He says that the Indians were incited to commence the attack by the Mormon leaders, and that Isaac Hight, John D. Lee, and John Higbee, three Mormon military leaders led on a party of forty men, who joined the Indians during the attack and assisted in the murder of the whole band. The object of the attack was plunder. They wished to get possession of the wagons and cattle. The emigrants were surrounded and fired upon until all were shot; then all the women and children old enough to talk were murdered and scalped. These Mormon leaders themselves gave the word to kill the little ones. The women begged for mercy, but Mormons know no mercy.

104. TWJ Fri May 27, 1859: Mrs. Mary Jane Root of Greenville, died on Sunday evening last very suddenly. She had been sick for a number of years with a consumptive disease, and on the occasion of her death, was visiting an aunt, with whom she retired for the night. Soon after retiring she remarked to her relative, "If I always felt as well as I do now I should be perfectly happy. Now let's have a good talk together." While in conversation she coughed once or twice when the blood flew from her mouth and nostrils in a copious stream and she died in ten minutes. It is supposed that her malady had consumed her lung to the artery when the light effort of her cough even, broke it. Mrs. Root leaves a husband and two small children.

105. TWJ Fri May 27, 1859: Boston May 24th - The first Anniversary of the Church Anti-Slavery Society was held yesterday. Rev. J.C. Webster of Hopkintown, presided and addresses were delivered by Rev. J. [ ] Murdock and Mr. McCormick of Ohio. Rev. Gilbert Haven of Cambridge, Hon. Amassa Walker, Rev. E. Haven and others. Rev. Gilbert Haven advocated the right of the church to interfere with the system of slavery, and prevent the rendition of fugitives from the South.

106. TWJ Fri May 27, 1859: A Sample of Connecticut Faith. The venerable Joseph T. Buckingham, long known in association with the Boston press, at the Unitarian festival in that city, on Tuesday evening, told the following anecdote: "In the early days of American civilization, when Connecticut was sparsely settled, an old lady had a very sick child, and on good advice, instead of calling a Doctor, tried the efficacy of prayer. The child recovered. A neighbor, surprised at the result, asked her how she knew what to say in prayer. "Well," said the old lady, "I first knelt down, and said, Oh, Lord! And I thought He would guess the rest."

107. TWJ Fri May 27, 1859: Counterfeits. Bills of a denomination of one hundred dollars, on the Brighton Market Bank, (apparently of the true plate engraved by the New England Bank Note Co.) with forged signatures, have just made their appearance; the public are cautioned in regard to them.

Once more to the world we will make proclamation

That building good wagons is our occupation.

All kinds and all patterns at our place is wrought,

By any one sold or by any one bought.

We make a good wagon for one horse or more,

And should customers wish, they can have one for four.

Of wagons and buggies we've on hand a supply,

Please to give us a call before elsewhere you buy.

Look here, brother farmer, we can make you good harrows,

And to cash paying Paddies can furnish wheelbarrows.

There is no kind of carriage that runs on a whell,

That cannot be had here, for in all sorts we deal.

And the stock that we work with is no common trash,

But hickory, white oak and the very best ash.

Then as for our painter - he ne'er makes a blunder,

The craft all to him without question knock under.

Have you work for a blacksmith? Bring it forth to our view,

Just say what you want, and it will be put through.

If you want a horse shod, you no farther need travel,

For the horse-shoer here is the best without eavil;

His shoes set so easy, his work all so neat,

And none any better can doctor their feet.

In short, all our workmen are best in the land,

For, neatness and beauty they well understand.

Our work we will warrant, but that's understood,

But should failure occur, we will make it all good.

Our thanks to the public we would tender all round,

For the heap of encouragement we've always found,

And in speaking our thanks for the favors now past,

We will put forth a hope that they always may last.

Our friends with true pleasure we always shall greet,

Just south of the river, No. 1, on Bridge Street.

Mr. L. was thrown directly under the cars, the brake dragging him some distance, and cutting him a terrible manner. He was taken to Bacon's Hotel and physicians called who pronounced his recovery doubtful on account of his age.

153. TWJ Fri Apr 20, 1860: Singular Phenomenon - Black Rain. "A singular phenomenon" says the Syracuse Journal, of the 5th inst. "occurred in this city yesterday afternoon. At about four o'clock a dark cloud arose in the northwest, presenting the appearance of an approaching thunder shower. As the clouds passed over, a slight shower, the drops in appearance resembling faint ink, was quietly dispensed, giving to all white objects the appearance of having been spattered with small drops of black ink. The people in the streets were surprised to find their faces and hands, and even shirt bosoms and collars, spotted over with this singularly colored rain. The sides of buildings and fences painted white, and the show-bills on the bulletin boards about the town, show traces of the same kind. We hear of several instances in which clothes hung out to-day were marked by the mysterious liquid. A resident of the Fifth ward, who had clothing discolored in this manner, had the garments washed out in clean water, and reports to use that he has preserved the sediment - nearly a teaspoonful in quantity - for the purpose of analyzing it, to discover the cause of the singular phenomenon.

170. TWJ Fri Apr 20, 1860: The Original John Tew. As an advertisement in this paper, from a firm in my line of business, has stated that Mr. Tew has been so long and so favorably known in this vicinity as to need no puffing, I take this opportunity to think them for having (perhaps unintentionally) told the truth in the matter. The only Mr. Tew who has been at work in this vicinity during the last six years, is the undersigned, while the Mr. Tew now in their employ, has been engaged in farming at a short distance from here and has been consequently unknown to the public as a general blacksmith, or as a horse-shoer. I feel called upon to make this statement in justice to myself, and without any harsh feeling, as such reports would soon prove their own destruction. I would inform my old patrons and the public generally, that I can be found at The Old Stand, and that having secured the services of two competent assistants, I am now prepared to attend to all orders in the line of blacksmith's work. Particular attention paid to Carriage and Waggon work as well as Shoeing; in fact any kind of iron work in my line of business, will be attended to promptly in the most satisfactory style and at the lowest prices. John Tew. Willimantic, Dec. 27th, 1959.

171. TWJ Fri Apr 20, 1860: Elliott in town again. The subscriber has just returned from market, with the Third Edition of winter clothing, of which there is more of these Heavy Beaver Overcoats, that has been considered so cheap, they are now offered fifty cents less than former prices. Also a warm comfortable overcoat $3.50; heavy under sacks $3.50; every day Pants, lined with Cotton Flannel, $1.75; silk plush caps 87 cts. A new style Bangall Hat, the latest style out. The above goods being bought rather late in the Season, is the reason why they can be afforded cheaper than ordinary prices. N.B. Mink skins taken in exchange for clothing. Geo. E. Elliott. Willimantic, Dec. 15th, 1859.
